However, what surprised me is that they are still able to
trust and
distrust in the recent weeks after the ban.
Is it possible the user can still modify his trust list even when banned
I think you already got your answers, but to still confirm again, I would say "Yes", I have a friend was left a couple of trust and distrust on some profiles before he got banned, and even in his banned state, he was able to edit or delete the trust or distrust rating he gave to those profiles before the ban.
I am not sure if that is an oversight by theymos and the admin team or if it was intentionally done that way. Maybe they can comment here and tell us what is the benefit of banned users have the ability to make such changes. I was always under the impression that getting banned puts your account in a read-only mode where you can browse the forum, read your old PMs, and it stops there. Not sure why trust changes are possible.
It is not an oversight, and to be sincere, I think the feature is a good one when you consider some situations which leads users into leaving trust and distrust feedbacks, some of this situations are not permanent and so the trusts or distrust earned based on that situation shouldn't be permanent too, a user who left a distrust rating on a situation that later got resolved either needs to edit or delete his distrust rating, and if the user who left the distrust rating is banned, it becomes a problem for the user who's account was distrusted by the banned user.....
So indeed the ability for banned user to still edit or delete their trust rating even while their account is in banned state, is really useful.
